| Is there really a big quality difference between these two? The prices for

service here.
thanks,

| QO is a bit better in quality........homeline is square d's attempt to
compete with the ITE, seimans etc... type breakers.
I wouldnt consider homeline a square d...if you want square d buy the QO

| Someone told me that Square-D should be ashamed to put their name on the
"Homeline" line -- that they were cheap crap to compete on price with
the other cheap and crappy brands.

I do.
In a simple four breaker box supplying a cooktop, over the past 12 years, three
of the four SD Homelines have fried so they won't reset.
In fact, as far as I can recall, they've fried on the first time they've had
to trip.
Fuses are cheaper thank you very much.
[Next time one fries, I'm going to replace the whole thing with a Siemens.]

Yeah, the electrons talk with a funny accent.
[Of course they're compatible. We use the same electrical standards.]
